MOSCOT, the Iconic New York City
“ORIGINALS LIVE ON IN THE MOSCOT FALL-WINTER 2019 CAMPAIGN” NEW YORK, AUGUST 20, 2019 - MOSCOT, the iconic New York City eyewear institution, introduces a new collection of MOSCOT Originals and MOSCOT Spirit optical and sunglass frames for Fall-Winter 2019. Now in its 104th year, the family-owned and operated eyewear brand presents a collection and campaign inspired by the legacy of originals that live on. After over a century in downtown NYC, MOSCOT has seen many evolutions, but the constant appreciation of classic design and original form continues to endure. Staying true to the family heritage and generational legacy, the new Fall-Winter campaign captures moments of father & daughter duo Frank Ferrer, of Guns N’ Roses, and his daughter, model, musician & MOSCOT team member Olivia Ferrer. Shot on location in and around MOSCOT’s Lower East Side flagship shop, where living history is still alive and well, MOSCOT pays homage to the past with an eye on the future. Featured in the campaign are like-minded establishments: TR Crandall Guitars, I Need More, Strand Book Store, and the mom-and-pop shops that are the building blocks New York City was founded upon. The original downtown NYC story comes to life with 6 bold new frames consisting of a rich palette with tones of butterscotch, tortoise, black, and combinations of matte & shiny metal finishes. Many of the new styles play on perspective – The TELENA and The FRITZ, for example, are thick & chunky from the front at first glance, yet unexpectedly slim and sleek in profile. The Originals live on! The Fall-Winter 2019 MOSCOT Collection: FRITZ Features: Made from thin sheet acetate laminate with two dot rivets on the temples, a saddle bridge, and real five barrel hinges.
